Then answer each question.  \nMy New Scooter  \nIt was amazing. I couldn’t keep my eyes off it. The way it shone in the light kept drawing my eye back to it. My dad noticed.  \n“Sophie, you have a scooter already, a really nice one!”  \n“I know, but look at this one! It’s so shiny and new,” I said.  \n“It is great, but we have to get going. Come on,” said Dad.  \nWe left the store, with me taking one last glance back atthe new scooter. I knew my scooter was nice, and it still worked even though I’d gotten it for my birthday 3 years ago. I just couldn’t stop thinking of that new scooter!  \nA few weeks later, Dad and I were back in the store. The scooter wasn’ton display where it was before, but as we passed the toy section, I kept my eyes  \nopen for it. There it was, with a big sale sign on it! I couldn’t help myself, I ran right over to it. Dad looked at the price.  \n“I know you’ve been thinking about this scooter a lot, Sophie, and you haven’t asked for much from me or mom lately. You’ve been helpful around the house, too. The sale price is pretty good, though it’s still a lot of money. I can’t just buy this for you, but what if I pay for part of it, then lend you the money for the rest of the scooter, and you promise to pay me back?” Dad asked.  \n“Would you really?” I said excitedly. “I promise I will pay you back, I will!”  \n“Sure, let’s get it,” said Dad as he picked up the box. As we were walking toward the registers, Dad asked me if I knew what it meant to borrow money.  \n“Yes, it means that I have to give it back to you,” I answered.  \nDad responded, “You’re right, but you can give it back tome a little at a time. Right now you get five dollars a week for your allowance. Instead of using it for a little treat, you could pay it back to me until you pay off your part of the scooter. It will take a couple of months for you to be done paying me back for it if you do that. Does that work for you?”  \nGrade 3 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \n“Sure, Dad!
